Cable Crossovers

1. Grasp each cable handle using an overhand grip with palms facing inward.
   
   
2. Stand in the middle of the cable machine with your feet slightly wider than shoulder width apart, or with one foot slightly in front of the other (stance is up to the individual, whatever you are comfortable with).
   
   
3. Keep back erect and elbows slightly bent throughout the entire motion.
   
   
4. To begin the exercise, extend the cables to the point where your chest is completely stretched (your arms should be wide open).
   
   

• Move the cables in a downward arcing motion until your hands make contact (your hands should be about 6 inches from your pelvic region).
  
  
• Hold this position for approximately 1-2 seconds to fully contract the pectoral muscles.
  
  
• Slowly resist as the cables are returned to the original starting position.
  
  
• Perform the desired number of repetitions while keeping the movement fluent, slow, and controlled.
